Semi-analytical approximations to statistical moments of sigmoid and softmax mappings of normal variables (2017, background): “…include, but are not limited to, the description of learning dynamics (see, e.g., Leibowitz et al., 2010) and psychometric functions (see, e.g., Wichmann and Hill, 2001), input/output relationships of artificial (see, e.g., Jain et al., 1996) and natural neurons (see, e.g., Marreiros et al.,…”
Painfree and accurate Bayesian estimation of psychometric functions for (potentially) overdispersed data. (2016, methodology): “…2006; Shen & Richards, 2012) or how to obtain accurate estimates of the psychometric function parameters (e.g. O'Regan & Humbert, 1989; Treutwein & Strasburger, 1999; Wichmann & Hill, 2001a; Knoblauch & Maloney, 2012). http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2016.02.002 0042-6989/Ó 2016 The Authors.”
Vergence-accommodation conflicts hinder visual performance and cause visual fatigue. (2008, methodology): “Cumulative Gaussians were fit to the combined psychometric data for each vergence–focal combination using a maximum-likelihood criterion (Wichmann & Hill, 2001a, 2001b).”
The psychometric function: I. Fitting, sampling, and goodness of fit (2001, neutral): “…sound procedure for modeling data, and the importance of such tests cannot be stressed enough, given that fitted thresholds and slopes, as well as estimates of variability (Wichmann & Hill, 2001), are usually of very limited use if the data do not appear to have come from the hypothesized model.”
Motion-dependent representation of space in area MT+ (2013, positive): “…we fitted cumulative Gaussian functions to observers' responses, estimated PSEs where the flashes in physically shifted positions were perceived in the same positions as those presented during motion, and determined confidence intervals for these values (Wichmann and Hill, 2001a, 2001b).”
Measuring contrast sensitivity (2013, neutral): “…rate and possibly a fourth (free or ﬁxed) parameter for response mistakes (Wich-mann & Hill, 2001a), arising from attention lapses, blinks, ﬁnger slips, etc. Algorithms are available to ﬁt and estimate conﬁdence intervals on each parameter (Kingdom & Prins, 2009; Wichmann & Hill, 2001a, 2001b).”
